"Antigone" is the final epi sode of a three-part tragedy; written by Sophocles 2.400 years ago. The French play wright, Jean Anouilh, wrote a modernized version during the Nazi occupation of France to spur the French resistance against the Nazis. ! The play has a colloquial flavor and was written to be ! played in a contemporary sty le. In the play, two brothers of Antigone have killed one another in combat. Creon, An tigone's uncle, who has be 1 come King of Thebes- decrees that one of them is to be buried with high military hon ors, the other to be cast into a field, prey for vultures and dogs. The play resolves into a con flict of rights of the individual when confronted with tyranni cal authority.

In addition to maintaining three theaters, the playhouse also conducts an apprentice ship program which trains young people in all phases of the theater.
